The story of the Roosevelts is usually seen as a tale of two presidents - Theodore and Franklin - who were distant cousins
from distinct worlds, separated by time and politics. And of two families - the Oyster Bay and Hyde Park branches - that had
little to do with each other. Now comes an explosive new portrait, The Roosevelts: An American Saga, which offers a completely
unique view of America's longest lasting and most powerful dynasty. The Roosevelts were one family, an exclusive elite who
began their history intimately related by bonds of love and ambition. In this brilliant biography, we see for the first time
how the family divided into two branches and began an epic battle for the family legacy. We see for the first time how the
ideals of two presidents were passed on to members of later generations, ennobling some and crushing others. The Roosevelts
is a rare look at what brought this exceptional group of people together and what drove them apart. In this riveting book
we see Teddy, the flamboyant politician and Rough Rider, who was also a "Papa Bear," passing on an ethos of sacrifice and
achievement to his "cubs." There is Theodore Jr., the "crown prince," handpicked by his father to carry on the traditions
of Oyster Bay but unable to complete the mission. And Alice, Teddy's acid-tongued and fiercely loyal daughter, whose antics
became the talk of Washington and who finally became a caricature, raving against her cousin's New Deal and trying desperately
to preserve her father's legacy. There's also Eleanor, daughter of Teddy's tragic brother, Elliott, who translated the unhappiness
of her marriage to FDR into political activism, eventually becoming First Lady of the World. And finally there is Franklin,
always underestimated by Teddy's family, who made an alliance with Eleanor to become the nemesis of the Oyster Bay Roosevelts
and, in the web of ironies that bind this family together, a truer heir to Teddy than any of his own children. Filled with
drama and anecdote, presenting familiar characters in a penetrating new light, The Roosevelts is a soaring tale of triumph
over heartbreak and frailty. But it is also a daunting story of the vanity of human wishes

The Race Card captures the twisted hypocrisy of many of today's civil rights champions who, by word and by deed, seem more
intent on tearing open new wounds than on healing old ones. In stunning detail we're shown how the notorious cases of O.J.
Simpson and Huey Newton have turned our judicial system upside down. We learn of Louis Farrakhan's curious affinity for the
Ku Klux Klan and thumb through radical Afrocentric literature whose bizarre theories, in the name of multiculturalism, are
entering the reading lists of schools across the country. We're left to wonder whether our nation has become so race obsessed
that it has lost its ability to distinguish right from wrong. Included are unflinching reports on Angela Davis, the Lenin
Prize winner and pseudo-scholar who's honored with an endowed chair by the University of California; Mumia Abu-Jamal, Philadelphia's
media-genic cop killer and cause celebre for Hollywood actors; and the Alarming ease with which revisionist pop culture canonizes
a Black Panther Party whose bloody, violent past continues to haunt its victims

This description is based on the MIT professor's writings on linguistics in the 1950s; but beginning with his criticism of
the Vietnam War in the 1960s, Chomsky became much better known for his radical politics than for his theories of language.
Over the past forty years he has gained a devoted following in the United States and Europe for his increasingly bitter--some
say hysterical--censure of U.S. "crimes." Chomsky has complained about being ignored by mainstream publications such as the
"New York Times," but in fact his steady stream of polemical works, like the best-selling "9-11," have made him the center
of a veritable cult. In "The Anti-Chomsky Reader," editors Peter Collier and David Horowitz have assembled a set of essays
that analyze Chomsky's intellectual career and the evolution of his anti-Americanism. The essays in this provocative book
focus on subjects such as Chomsky's bizarre involvement with Holocaust revisionism, his apologies for Khmer Rouge tyrant Pol
Pot, and his claim that America's policies in Latin America in the 1980s were comparable to Nazism. Scholar Paul Bogdanor
writes about Chomsky's hatred of Israel. Ronald Radosh and David Horowitz discuss his gloating reaction to the September 11
attack. Linguists Paul Postal and Robert Levine reevaluate Chomsky's linguistics and find the same qualities there that others
see in his politics: "a deep contempt for the truth, descents into incoherence, and verbal abuse of those who disagree with
him."--"The Anti-Chomsky Reader" presents a fascinating composite portrait of a man who arguably is our most influential public
intellectual

This is the first and only biography of Jeane Kirkpatrick, who became an iconic figure in the 1980s as Ronald Reagan's UN
ambassador and the most forceful presence in the administration, outside of the President himself, in shaping the Reagan Doctrine
and fighting the Cold War to a victorious conclusion. Political Woman traces the complex interlock between Kirkpatrick's personal
and professional lives using her as yet unarchived private papers and extensive interviews with her and her family and with
dozens of friends and associates. The portrait that emerges, filled with character and anecdote, is of an ambitious woman
from the epicenter of middle America determined to break through the multi dimensional glass ceilings of her time and place.
A pioneering feminist who would be hated by the feminist movement because of her association with Reagan and neo conservatism,
she began her career in the post war period as an academic focusing on the subject of totalitarianism. She fell in love with
a married man, Evron Kirkpatrick, who had been a close aide to "Wild Bill" Donovan in the wartime OSS and who would help form
the CIA after the war. A leading professor at Georgetown, she also became an important Democratic Party activist. Dismayed
by what she saw as McGovern's trashing of the Roosevelt coalition and by Carter's capitulation to Soviet advances, she led
a group of Democratic liberals who felt homeless in the radicalized and "Blame America First" (a phrase from her famous 1984
Republican convention speech) Party into the Reagan administration. As Reagan's UN representative, Jeanette sharpened the
spearpoint of a rearmed America ready to join the final battle of the Cold War, in the process staging dramatic battles with
figures like Alexander Haig and George Schultz over policy toward the Soviets, the Cubans, and the Contras. This book tells
